Pacers make movie in Lance Stephenson’s honor

At 12:01 a.m. this morning, Lance Stephenson and company were with the Indiana Pacers’ team brass at a private party. The event included a viewing of a movie in Stephenson’s honor.

The movie was a secret to Stephenson.

Parts of the movie featured a few words from Larry Bird, Pacers president of basketball operations, and coach Frank Vogel.

Sources say things got “emotional” for Stephenson’s loved ones at certain parts, especially when the ‘Born Ready’ life story began reflecting on his journey to climb out of Coney Island.

In the past, the Pacers have done things for their free agents. Last year, the Pacers did something cool for Paul George, but this is the first time for a movie. A team source said, “It gets bigger every year.” Indianapolis Star
